The great scarcity of Chambers for Residence in the immediate vicinity of the Club Houses has long been complained •f, and nu merous plans have been proposed for the erection of buildings adapted for that purpose, all of which have been abandoned, in con sequenee of the extreme difficulty of obtaining eligible Sites. ThiTdecirable object has, however, been, in a great measure, ef fected for this purpose by the purchase, at about one-half the origi nal cost, cf thy splendid residence of the late Mr. Blieke, situated on the West Side of Regent-street, having a frontage of 78 feet, be tween the two loading thoroughfares of Piccadilly and Pall-mall, and in the immediate neighbourhood of the principal Clubs. Tko mansion is capable of being converted into elegant separate apartments, of various degrees of accommodation, and will yield an Immediate return for the capital invested, upon security of un doubted and increasing value ; while additional Chambers will be erected over the extensive premises in the rear, each room having a reoshis for a bed, in the continental style. The Proprietors of the greatest number of Shares to have a prio tit/ of oltoice in the selection of the rooms, their occupation to be sub ject to su c h regu l a ti ons as t h e C omm ittee raay deem necessary for the well-being of the Establishment. The Albany, in Piccadilly, affords a safe criterion of the profits likely fro be derived from the erection of Suits of Chambers, adapted to the wants and habits of the higher classes. The Apart men t s may b e numbered and lettered, as in the Al ),anY ; a porter will be s t a ti one d i n the Hall, day and night, and ,me general arrangements will be at least equal to those of any si milar Establishment. The capital requisite to effect the purchase, and complete the additional buildings, is proposed to be raised by 5,000 Shares of 101. be Certificates o f no t l ess th an Fi ve Sh ares eac h.

The Only Establishment of J. T. Betts and Co., is the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-bars, adjoining the Cattle Market, where the Patent Brandy may be had either pale or coloured, sent free of ex pense to any part of the town, in quantities not less than Two Gal lons, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, of the highest legal strength, for Cash on delivery.

This Company is established to introduce into the United King dom a bituminous mastic or cement, known as the Asphalte of Seyssel, which has been used in France and Belgium with the most signal success, and the inclusive use of which is secured by contract to the Company. The material is used for footpaths, roads, and highways, for cover ing roofs of all kinds of buildings, for flooring of stables, halls, kit dices, fore-courts, wharfs, ttc., and is applicable to hydraulic and other purposes, both ornamental and useful, too numerous to be here defined. It is alike unaffected by heat or cold, and is imper vious to rain or damp. In Frauce the shares of the French Asphalte Company bear a very considerable premium, and the Company has declared a divi dend of 30 per cent. A Company has been formed in Belgium, where the facilities for the introduction and use of the material are much inferior to those of this country; the shares of which, are at a considerable premium. I'rospectuses will be issued in a few days. Deposit 2/. per share. Applications for shares to be addressed, by letter post paid, to the Solicitors of the Company, at their offices as above; or to F.

There is no fresh feature in this great department of any kind. Buy. ers continue shy and cautious, and holders are not disposed to oppress the market with goods. To.day the principal sales are of Bengal and Mauritius Sugar and Brazil Coffee. There is also a little Rice and Pi. mento—but they are of no moment. Mauritius Sugar 2.,130 bags and '2,700 bags of Bengal. Since the last public sale the arrivals of East India Sugar hare been heavy. Biddings were therefore not brisk—there were some buyings in, and prices, where al tered, declined. Coffee—Brazil, 3,000 bags. There is more firm. ncss in Coffee than Sugar, but prices showed no disposition to advzneie. There was also a small quantity of B. P. Coffee, viz. 42 casks and 43 barrels of Berbice, which sold when we left at former prices. Rice and Pimento went as before. British Plantation Sugar sell■ languidly, but prices went much the same as before. Other commodities in this market present nothing fresh. To-morrow we haie advertised 2,000' bags Mauritius Sugar, and 299 cask• and 107 cases Foreign East India, and 65 puncheons Molasses. On the lath we have some heavy sales of Mauritius and Bengal Sugar s , Coco► is firmer in price, owing to the loss of a vessel from Trinidad with 1,500 bags. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARcit 12.

An inven tion of this kind would certainly confer an incalculable benefit ,n 1 the fair sex, and be the means of saving a great many ,ives annually, but unfortunately it has been ascertained that the sodaic solution has been over-vaunted ; it does not posses l i e power ascribed to it. But, alth oug h th e so da Is valueless in this respect, it does not follow that all other agents should be equally impotent, and it has been found that a solu tion of phospheric acid has the power of rendering linen, ,nuslin, &c., incombustible. This was fully demonstrated at t he Royal Institution on Friday night, to the satisfaction and gratification of a very numerous audience. It is of importance that this fact should be made generally known. Phosplcric acid may be obtained by burning a piece of phospherous in a bottle, in which it will be collected in the form of a white Fow ler, which is readily soluble in water. .5 AT 3PITA Ll'l ELDS V.

The great usefulness of this bird is well known in some quarters, and the husbandman is not wise who permits rooks and star lings to be wantonly killed. We are under very great obliga tions to both these kinds of birds ; and though the rook may sometimes take a few grains of corn, and the starling occa sionally invite himself to a little fruit, yet their p u bli c ser vices, in freeing the ground from vermin, title!' would, in spite of the efforts of man, go on increasing in numbers, till famine would be the result, do entitle these pretty creatures to the kindest treatment Let the former content himself with employing; children to frighten away t h eir friends when the see d i s n ewly sown, or when the crop is appro ac hi ng to maw-4y, but let the lives of the rook an d starling be reli giously spared.

We do not recollect having heard the story before, and yet the editor of that excel lent journal vouches for its truth :—" The genuineness of the following statement may be depended upon. Sergeant Abra ham Millington's Memorandum concerning the demise of Gen. Bonaparte :--On Sunday the 6th of May, 1821, I was sent for, while attending divine service, to make a tin coffin for General Napoleon Bonaparte. On Monday, the 7th, I was ordered to attend at Longwood-house for the purpose of soldering up the body of General Bonaparte, in the tin coffin, which was performed in the following manner, in presence of Generals Bertrand and Monthelon, Madame Bertrand, the French Chaplain, the French surgeon, Mr. A. Darling, Dr. Rushop, his Majesty's 20th Regiment of Foot, several of the French domnstics, and Samuel Ley, private in the 20th Regiment. The body of the late General Napoleon Bonaparte, in full dress, was deposited in a tin coffin, which was lined with white silk and cotton. His cocked hat was laid accross his thighs, and on the left breast of his coat was a gold star and cross, and several other medals of the same metal ; several pieces of coin of various sizes and different value were also put into the coffin. His heart was deposited in a silver urn or tureen, filled with spirits, to which I soldered a lid or cover of the same material, which was placed between the small parts of his lags. His stomach was deposited in a silver mug, in which there were spirits, which was also put in the coffin. A silver plate, knife, fork, and spoon, and a silver service cup, were also deposited in the cof fin. Previously to placing the body of the General in the cof fin, the tin lid of the coffin being lined with white silk and stuffed with cotton, it was put in its place, and I soldered it on :he coffin, enclosing the late General Napoleon Bonaparte, and all the above mentioned articles. This tin coffin with its contents, was then enclosed in a mahogany coffin, a-d they were enclosed in a lid coffin, and all were afterwards enclosed in a Mahogany coffin, which made in all four coffins.—ABRA HAM MiutsoToN, Sergeant St. Helena Artillery."

Last evening a meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Lambeth, convened for the purpose of adopting a petition to both Houses of Parliament for the total and unconditional abolition of Negro Apprenticeship, was held at the Horns Tavern Kennington. Benjamin Hawes, Esq., M. P., in the Chair. The Hight Hon. Tennyson D'Eyncourt, M. P., was present, and the assemblage was numerous and respectable. The CHAIRMAN said that he deemed it a most gratifying duty to preside over so large and respectable 'an assembly which he then had the honour of addressing, especially met for the accomplishment of those great objects which had long excited the sympathies and energies of the wise and good who had gone before them—viz., the abolition of slavery in the . British dominions.—(Cheers.) They were then assembled under very peculiar circumstances. Thirty years had elapsed since the slave trade was said to have been abolished; but yet, notwithstanding, did they not see it revived and carried on, without interruption, by many nations who were bound by treaty, in common with them selves, to put it down ?—( Hear.) Only four years ago a more successful attempt had been made to crush slavery, but they were doomed to experience its revival in the shape of Vagrant Acts and police regulations, systems under which, if ever introduced amongst freemen, the seeds of liberty must wither and decay. (Loud cheers.) Ile regretted too, to add, that the people of this country had the pain of witnessing some recent indications of a slave trade fostered by British protec tion.—( Cries of Shame.) It was a remarkable circumstance that all the predictions that had been made by the abolitionists regarding the good results that would - ensue from negro eman cipation, their working for hire, and their love of order, had been more than realized by the results. (Cheers.) To the delight of those who had supported that measure, and the mor tification and disappointment of those who opposed it, the negro slave turned out to be a human being like themselves, who knew and appreciated the value of liberty, and whose mind only wanted cultivation to enable him to compete with them in intellect, as he already equalled them in the order of creation. (Loud cheers.) It bad been asked why recourse was now had to agitation, when in two years the negroes would be free? Now, he (Mr. Hawes) would like to ask who it was that put this interrogatory ? (Hear, hear.)— Was it the West India planter ?—( Hear, hear.) He had no right.—( Cries of " No, no.") They had paid him the price of freedom, and he had given them nothing in return but ' slavery.—( Loud cheers.) The planters had broken faith with the people of this country. They had outraged every promise and agreement that they had made; for if there was one thing ; more than another which had been insisted on, it was that females should be no longer subjected to the lash—and yet the shameful torture had been practised on them, on the mere pre tence that it was lawful to do so.—(Cries of " Shame.") The course pursued by the House of Assembly and Courts of Law had been to smother and impede the free administration of justice in Jamaica. In Jamaica the slave had little mercy or indulgence to expect ; his case was generally prejudged. For himself, he would use his utmost efforts in accomplishing the final emancipation of the negroes, and procuring for them that liberty which they had dearly purchased, and which they meant to have.—( Loud cheers.) GEORG?, THOMPSON, Esq., was received with loud cheers. ' He said that it afforded him unfeigned pleasure to have an opportunity of addressing so large and so distinguished an au dience for so benevolent and so pious an object.—Hear, hear.) It afforded him equal delight to see in the occupation of the chair one of the Senators of the land, who was not only imbued with the spirit of philanthropy, but hid also evinced an information of research upon the great question which was highly creditable to his head and heart.—( Cheers.) Mr. Thompson went on at great length to show that the discredit able means by which Lord (then Mr.) Stanley had cajoled the country into the payment of twenty millions sterling, and begged that they would no longer allow themselves to be hoodwinked, but to come forward and demand, without com promise, the liberty of their fellow creatures.—[His address occupied nearly an hour in the delivery, and was prematurely terminated by a sudden attack of illness brought on by over exertion, the speaker having travelled upwards of 160 miles during the day, for the purpose of lending his valuable ser vices to the purposes of the meeting.] G. W. ALEXANDF.II, Esq., was glad to see two Members of Parliament present at the meeting, as it was from the l3ritish ' Senate that they must ultimately look for the accomplishment of their views. He had attended a great many meetings, and could bear testimony to the strong feeling which prevailed for the entire abolition of slavery. Every one at all acquainted with the history of slavery must be aware that the planters had always treated the slaves with cruelty, and had opposed every measure that would in any manner tend to ameliorate their condition. It was, therefore, originally deeply to be regretted that in the Emancipation Act the Government had given the negroes over again into the hands of their oppressors. That Act, in his opinion, was a fraud upon the people of England.—( Ilear.) Women were still compelled to work in the fields. The Hon. Gentleman then went on to allude to the evils of the apprenticeship system, and said that a great number of children had been apprenticed in order to save them from actual starvation.—(Shame.) The planters bad also adopted a plan of obtaining a great deal more labour from their apprentices than was contemplated or allowed by the Imperial Act. They effected this by imposing task-work upon the slaves. Punishment had been carried to a most dreadful extent. Not only were men flogged, but women also. From official returns it would ap pear thrt upwards of four hundred thousand stripes had been inflicted in a period of two years, independently of other punishments, by imprisonments, &c. ; and also the stripes in flicted upon the slaves while working on the treadmill. These floggings were in some instances of such a dreadful character as to prevent the slave from obtaining his livelihood after wards, and reduce him to a state of starvation. Females were placed in a worse position under the Abolition Act than they were previously. Formerly females who had more than six children were allowed a respite from labour, but now they were compelled to work the full period of forty-five hours, and those who had young infants were forced to work with their children strapped to their backs, and they were not even al lowed the time necessary to give them nourishment.— ( Shame.) Would any one say after this that an Act of Par liament sanctioning such cruelties ought to remain upon the statute book. He contended that it ought to be at once can celled. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by proposing the first resolution, " That notwithstanding the costly sacrifice made by the people of England to obtain the abolition of slavery, that it still existed in a mast aggravated form." Mr. Noirrnotisa„ Parliamentary agent, said he had the honour of being suddenly selected to- second the resolution. Ile did so with the greate,t delight, as he hed ever been an ardent friend to the great cause in which they were embarked. The period was most favourable for their object. A young Qeeen sat upon the throne, whore amiable sympathies must he with them.—(Cheers.) It had been customary in the olden times upon every accession to the Crown to pass an Act of Grace. What a noble act of grace it would be to strike the chains from every slave in her Majesty's dominions—to realise in every colony the proud boast of our land, that not a slave can pollute its sacred soil—to make the first year of our Victoria's reign the last yeas of s'avery among out Vic toria's subjects.—(Great cheering.) There was another source of delight. In that room he had been called upon to battle on party and political matters. Here was a topic with which party had nothing to do—a green spot in the arid desert of public life. There were no burning sands here to blind their eyes to the motives and virtues of each other. It was immeasurably beyond and above all party considerat'ons; it had the delightful effect of proving to us that in spite of our &fferences, our prejudices, and our partialities, we were men and brethren, filled with love to the whole family of man.— From the timid Tory to the rash Radical—(lmmense laughter and cheering, and cries of " You are a Whig.") there was no difference—all could lay their offsrings upon this altar—all would go from this altar inspired with kinder feelings . towards each other. This was th e neu t ra l ground of an universal philanthropy ; of that " Holy flame which ever burneth, From Heaven it came, to Heaven returneth ; At times deceived, at times oppress'd ; It here is tried And purified, Then bath in Heaven its perfect rest."--( Cheers.) Their Hon. Chairman had slightly alluded to the Order in Council for permitting the exportation of the natives of Hitt dostan to British Guaira. He (Mr. Northhouse) denounced it as the commencement of another Slave-trade. Change Africa to Asia, and you have the secret of the whole. It is true another name was used, but " what's in a name ?"—the :thing was the same. Where is the protection from the horrors of the middle passage to those entrapped Asiatics ? But it was said " they were little better than monkeys." Nu doubt of it—the same was said of the unfortunate Negroes. To palliate the atrocities perpetrated upon them, they forsooth were little better than animals—beasts of burden—" scarcely men I" Away with such miserable pretexts for inhumanity and murder !—(Cheers. ) These Asiatics—these Hill Coolies —were simple beings, whose very vices were allied to virtue— guiltless of the besetting sins of civilization—temperate, eating no animal food, drinking no strong drink—mild, innocent, compassionate—and save that they are Pagans, possessing many of the virtues of the Christian character— why should they be deluded to leave their hornes and their fa milies—gimped and kidnapped:to swell!the gangs of slaver) ? without protection on their passage or their return—return, did I say ?—if they go, " Nor wife, nor children, mere shall they bell old, Nor friends, nor sacred home !" Cheers.) It must be denounced—it must be prevented no matter what the Government, or whom the men who pro vise it. These poor beings must be saved from The tasks of oxen for the hire of sieves, Dishoner'd lives and desecrated graves. '..._(Great cheering.) There was another cause. He had been in Scotland, and witnessed the unfortunate band-loom weavers, driven down from upwards of twenty shillings per week to three shillings and ninapence per week, working six teen hours per day, and he had seen how this had been ecea- ' sioned, by the plastic poverty of their numbers—they ware inundated by Irish, who could soon learn their trade, and to whom even 3s. 9d. per week was a luxury.—(Chects and laughter,) This was the scheme of the West Indian planners; — the moment their slaves became free they were to be brought into competition with these " half monkeys," who fed upon a little rice and pepper per day, and who, by taking less than even the African slave had at present, can make his eherisi..ed and dearly purchased emancipation the liberty of destitution, the freedom of starvation. This nas no party question; the cham pion of universal freedom and universal education—Harry Brougham--(Great cheering)—was supported by three members of the Cabinet of the chief Minister to whom he way opposed against their own leader.—The wedge of philanthropy is in the gnarled oak of party, and the Iris of better days is brightening the dark billows of political strife. He hailed the omen I—(Great cheering.) A previous speaker had com mented upon the twenty millions paid to the planters. He (Mr. N.) disapproved of the bargain, but not of the money— it ought not to have been paid till the slaves were emancipated. Originally the scheme was a loan of fifteen millions, but Lord Stanley knew his men, and thought it did not make much difference whether it was a loan or a gift. Hence he made, it a gift of twenty millions. Still the money ought to bo paid. it was not just to be merciful at other people's expense. Mon teFquieu said that it was better that ninety-nine guilty men escape than that one innocent man suffer.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Nona could suffer if ail were paid. All had Leen paid ; and now by the sacred claims of that very justice which caused their payment, ho demanded that the bargain should be completed—that the redeemed blood and bones, tics of love and claims of iiberty of the slave, bought end paid for, should be given up by those who held them in bondage.—( Cheers.) Make freedom desirable when you make it attainable. Save them from hunger and destitution —save their little ones from the fate which their inhuman masters are cunningly devising for them—give them " beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness." Prove that you are his followers who said, " By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if ye have love one to another ;" and this will indeed, be " A feeling from the Godhead caught, To wean from man each selfish thought; A ray of him who form'd the whole, A glory circling round the soul ! He concluded, amid cheers, by seconding the resolution. Mr. GOLDSMITH propoied an amendment, that the meeting agree to the proposition for the abolition of slavery in every shape, but did not agree to any further remuneration or addi tion to the SUM of twenty millions. For the amendment only three hands were held up. The original resolution was carried. The Rev. GEOIIGE CLAYTON moved the adoption of a pe tition to be presented to the Legislature. To the House of Lords by Lord Brougham, and to the House of Commons by B. Hawes, Esq., M. P. for the Borough, which was carried. Mr. T. D'EYNCONIT said that it gave him at all times great pleasure to meet any portion of his constituents. He had been present at many meetings where political subjects which created a great deal of excitement were mooted, but he never, upon any occasion, saw such a meeting as he then had the honour of addressing. If ever there was a cause calculated to stir men's blood, it was the one which had brought them together. He remembered that he listened with delight to the speech of Lord Stanley when he introduced the measure ; tut they bad been miserably deceived by that Noble Lord. It might, however, be recollected that lie at that time advocated reform, and subsequently receded frrm it ; and he also, it appeared, advocated the abolition of negro slavery, but neglected to take the necessary steps to obtain that object. The Hon. Member proceeded to allude to the horrible punishments inflicted upon women, and conclUded a very eloquent speech by assuring the meeting that he would most cordially co-operate with them in his place in the House of Commons. After a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, Mr. Hawes returned thanks; and the meeting separated. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

Angelo in St. James's-street, which was attended by a large numbcr of General Officers and of the Nobility. The exhibitors were parties of picked men belonging to the ilcrse and Foot Artillery and the 2d Regiment of Lit's! Guards. During the exhibition, which commenced at two o'clock, and did not terminate until near scv,n o'clock in the evening, one of the finest displays of the sword exercise and fencing ever remembered was performed by Sergeant-Majors Moore, Elliott, and Boiling, of the Foot Artillery, which called forth the highest encomiums from the whole o! the military gentlemen present, who also spoke in high terms of the altera'ions invented by ,Messrs. Angelo, by which the system of drill is much shortened, without altering its effects. Among the company present were the Marquises of Douro and Anglesey, Sir Hussey Vivian, Bart., K. C. 8., Master-General of the Ordnance. Sir Charles Dalbiae, Bart., K.C.8., Inspector a Cavalry, Colonel Jones, Ad jutant-General of Artillery, M , jor Wynyard, Commanding Officer of the Horse Artillery, Captains Dunn and Pastor, and a large number other officers connected with Cavalry and In fantry Regiments, &c. &c. Yesterday an inquest was held at the Green Man public-house, Coppice-row, Clerkenwell, before Thomas Stirling, Esq., on the body of a man aged 00; his supposed name Martin. The deceased for some time past was knowa as the sweeper of crossings and bone-picker, and lived at a miserable hovel, No, 44, Ray-street, Clerkenwell. Having b:en missing for some time past his room was entered, where he was found quite dead. The place was destitute of furni ture, and the deceased was lying en some straw. It was con jectured that the deceased was a miser, and had realised a considerable sum of money. On Bugg, the beadle, searching the room, he found a note resembling a 10,0001. note, but it was a puff for a distiller in the neighbourhood. No money was found in the place. The deceased was often heard to say that he had respectable relatives, who had discarded him, and that he would rather di^ than apply to them or his parish for relief, but he would never disclose who his relations were. His body exhibited a most emaciated appearance. The jury returned a verdict of—Died by the visitation of God. COLUMBUS.—We extract the following from a Genoa letter of recent date :—" The real locality of tho birth-place of Christopher Columbus has not been hitherto known. The biographers of this illustrimis navigator, who all agree that he was born in the state of Genoa, differ as to the exact locality. All doubt on this subject is now removed.
